These pseudo marks are associated with the wholesale manufacture of (Philo B.) Gilbert, (Daniel) Cunningham & Co, NYC c 1840. The marks, always in that order, though often erratically stamped as here, are fairly common and found with the mark of retailers mostly in NYC, but as far south as Charleston SC. I have come across the I•D mark several times, but have not seen a likely attribution.
